Beautiful Paper Craft Store at Liang Court
What’s not to love about beautiful paper craft. Crafts Beautiful was just next to the pretty tea store. When I pass by I always marvel at the 3D paper art. Especially the Parisian scene. And the Orchard Road scene displayed … Continue reading

After a disappointing meal at Muthu’s at Race Course Road, we took another trip to Demsey, for much more fulfilling non-vegetarian banana leaf meal. Muthu’s was $40 compared to the $27 we spent at Dempsey. Samy’s Curry blew the competition … Continue reading

Dempsey Road: Samy’s Curry for another Yummy Banana Leaf Experience
Been here countless number of times, enticed by the very tasty South Indian curries and the laid back green backdrop. I’d rather have curry in these open surroundings than in an air-conditioned cafe. I always think, if Singapore’s temperature fell … Continue reading
